glad you two enjoyed some of DC's best neighborhoods. Just to comment of the half smoke experience you really have to eat a half smoke at a hotdog stand/cart. there's something about boiled dogs that keep them juicy. Ask for everything on it and you wont be disappointed. I grew up on eating two hotdogs with a chip and soda when it was only $2.50!
Be sure to go to Martin's Tavern when the Shad are running. Halfsmoke is OK, but so far from iconic as to not be seen. While in Georgetown, go to Filomena's and make an evening of your dinner. You only feature a handful of places. I hope you didn't ignore Washington's first Lebanese restaurant, Mama Ayesha's on the edge of Adams Morgan. It was The Calvert Cafe when I started going there in 1960.
Oh my goodness I was excited to FINALLY get to set down and watch!! Been runnin like a chicken. I just love it when y’all post, is like gettin to set down with friends and kibbutz over a great meal!! (And no calories… unlike my quickie trip to Florida 😏) Love y’all!! Prayers for safety and continued success! Hug the Princess and each other for me.
I’ve actually been looking to find a place to try the half smoke other than the annoying Ben’s chili bowl which I would not go to so I’m glad to see this
Do you have any recommendations for restaurants? From your own experience there, what is a restaurant or restaurants that you HAVE to try if you go to Washington DC. (I'm visiting for the first time in December)
Life long DC resident. DC has the most average food. The restaurants are fueled by 20/30 somethings. There use to be a show "Check Please" on PBS where 5 Gen Z rated restaurants. Phony as hell and got cancelled.
Im happy to have for this video and yalls channel. Im going to DC in 2 weeks and was wondering what places are good to stop and eat at. Im all about the local foods that cant get anywhere else.
@@TheMagicGeekdom it was nice little trip. It was cut short but I live in jersey anyways so ill def be going back. The Korean war memorial was closed for renovation and that was the main reason to go. The main place I ate at was boxcar tavern. It was a nice little bar/restaurant across from the eastern market. Good food and not tough on my Hip-national.
Was Ben’s chili bowl too “urban” for you guys??? Cuz that’s the spot for the half smokes....and secondly real Mumbo sauce comes from carry-outs with wings,again musta been too urban
To be honest, Ben's is overrated. The history is nice, but the actual food is just okay. Also, since a lot of places have their own version of mumbo sauce, it's hard to say which one is best. I bet, depending on where you live in DC, some have no clue what mumbo sauce is so you can't say it's something you have to try in DC.

Every time I see a Capitals hockey game, the bar is the best!

Baked and Wired over Georgetown Cupcake any day

We did. It was a great place.

@@FelipeGarcia-vz4wl try Old Ebbitt Grill near the White House, or the Hamilton in the next block both are very reasonable and great atmosphere
Alright cake is food that I like.thank for show
Bravo!
Hope you guys are doing well , nice to see some eating places on the Main Street in Georgetown , we always gravitate down to the water front
We are doing pretty well. Hope you guys are doing well as well.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Well glad you asked, we are well
I wish to try thanks so much for your good video

It may not be the strongest food city ever, but we enjoyed the things we had there.

Thanks for watching it! Hope you had or are having a great time in DC.

Clydes
Goodness gracious! The Chesapeake Benedict!
The cupcakes all sound good!
Yeah it was all good!

We can miss a place and it can be just because we missed it and not because it's "too urban" lol.
Dumb comment lmfao
Y’all didn’t go to BEN’S Chili Bowl that even served the 1968 riots? Really?
Ben’s chilli bowl?? Are you serious 🧐I live in DC and that’s the last place I would go!! You can get a better half smoke at 7/11
We missed it, but hopefully we can check it out next time.
@@pmssagittarius2163 Sorry 😐
I’m willing to give it a shot but in my experience fancy cup cake places that are popular always suck.
That is often true, but I think this one is actually worth the hype!
@@TheMagicGeekdom I will hold you both personally accountable this weekend if it’s not stellar.
Joking lol. Thanks for the video by the way.
I never bother with cupcakes. A slice of cake to share would be my thing . As long as I know the establishment has good bakery.
The watermelon sugar does sound good, even if that’s not what you were going for 🤣-S
It was pretty good. 😂
Best Ethiopian Restaurant in DC is DUKEM. Just stating facts!
7:50 Half Smoke
No 4 whole fried wings with mumbo sauce? 😂
Definitely too Urban lol
